Chapter 69 Bloody Battle of Shenchi
Zhang Lun's hands and feet were cold, as if he fell into an ice cellar. He subconsciously looked around, and the eyes of the generals of Lou Fanjun were flashing, not knowing what they were thinking.
At this moment, the leaves of armor sounded turbulently. Zhang Lun looked up and saw Huang Shizheng coming from the front yard with more than a dozen followers.
Huang Shizheng came to Zhang Lun in two steps at a time. Huang Ziying and Zhang Lun were both former subordinates of Liu Wuzhou. Huang Ziying and Zhang Lun had a common friendship with Zhang Lun. Huang Shizheng always regarded himself as a junior in front of Zhang Lun. Huang Shizheng hurriedly said, "Uncle Zhang, outside the city... outside the city!"
Zhang Lun heard his fear and anxiety from Huang Shizheng's words. In fact, it was not just Huang Shizheng, but even Zhang Lun himself was in a state of silence.
Zhang Lun said unquestionably: "Sit down first, don't say it, I already know everything."
Zhang Lun suddenly saw a strange entourage appearing behind Huang Shizheng and was slightly stunned. In fact, he didn't think much about it. After all, Huang Shizheng was the leader of Lou Fanguan, so he was just helping.
Huang Shizheng walked to the position of commander and said with a stern face: "Notify the generals above the lieutenant Du Bo to come and discuss matters!"
Zhang Lun vaguely felt something was wrong. Now there was a Tang army soldier in the south of Loufanguan City. There was only one explanation. There was something wrong with Yanmen Pass. However, Huang Shizheng, as the general of Loufanguan, summoned the officers to discuss matters with justification. Zhang Lun could not stop it at all, so he had to make a decision.
After a while, the generals of Loufan Pass rushed into the Loufan Articular Hall. Liu Wuzhou regarded both towns as capitals and set up a capital. This capital was actually equivalent to the commander of the Tang army. Originally, Loufan Pass had six thirty capitals, but at this time, there were only more than twenty people entering the tent.
When Huang Shizheng saw everyone arrive, he coughed and cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, the Tang army has surrounded Loufan Pass from north to south. What do you think?"
Zhang Lun said dissatisfiedly: "The soldiers come to block the enemy, and the water comes to the earth." However, before Zhang Lun could speak, the strange entourage who was originally standing behind Huang Shizheng suddenly stood in front of Huang Shizheng and said lightly: "Good birds choose trees to live on, wise ministers choose masters to work. The situation of summoning Liu Wuzhou is gone, don't mislead yourself!"
Zhang Lun instantly understood that this was actually a lobbyist of Tang Jun.
In fact, Zhang Lun's guess was that this Huang Shizheng's escort was the third Zhechong Prefecture of Dingyuan Army, and the Lingzhou Army held an independent appointment to join the army Liu Tong.
Zhang Lun said angrily: "Come here, take down the Tang army's detailed work!"
Zhang Lun's personal guards could only follow Zhang Lun's orders. Several people stepped forward and twisted Liu Tong's arm behind without saying anything. Zhang Lun naturally didn't really want to kill Liu Tong. Now that his family members are not surprised, they should fall into the hands of the Tang army. In the eyes of the Li Tang court, Zhang Lun was a lackey of Liu Wuzhou's accomplice, and his family members are going to be killed if they are surprised.
It is said that people will not do anything, and heaven will be punished by the earth. Zhang Lun naturally knew that Liu Wuzhou was in a desperate situation. He just wanted to use Liu Tong to make a deal with the Tang army generals to exchange for his own family.
But beyond Zhang Lun's expectations, Liu Tong was not panicked.
Liu Tong looked at Zhang Lun's angry look and smiled slightly, "Tong Zhixiang is here, and you can take it at any time. However, I advise you to wait for a while. Otherwise, you will definitely regret it."
"Liu Tong, what do you want?" Huang Shizheng looked at the look of anger, but his hand was pressed on the hilt of the knife and slowly leaned against Zhang Lun.
Liu Tong smiled and said, "Haha, I don't want to do anything, I just want you to wait for a moment... I am already here, can you both of you even wait for this little time?"
Zhang Lun looked at Liu Tong and smiled and said, "Huangkouru, don't speak nonsense..."
"Puff..."
The sound of a knife entering the flesh sounded, and blood splattered out. The blood spurted out of Zhang Lun's neck sprayed Huang Shizheng's face, making Huang Shizheng's face even more ferocious.
Zhang Lun's head rolled to the ground like a ball. Until his death, Zhang Lun didn't understand. Huang Shizheng, who had just lowered his eyebrows and looked respectfully at him, attacked him at this moment. However, Zhang Lun didn't even have the chance to scream, so his body separated.
Huang Shizheng raised Zhang Lun's bloody head, raised it over his head, and shouted at the general of Lou Fanjun in the hall: "Liu Wu and Zhou Wu, Liu Wu and Zhou Wudao, Huang Shizheng made trouble and made trouble, and you still want to follow the thief!"
The generals in the hall agreed.
In fact, looking at Huang Shizheng's ferocious look, and Huang Shizheng's entourage soldiers were staring at him, even if he was a general who was willing to be loyal to Liu Wuzhou, he needed to consider clearly what would happen.
Facts have proved that most of the smart people in this world were still smart. When Tang soldiers appeared in the north and south of Loufanguan at the same time, their generals knew that Liu Wuzhou had already lost his situation.
Loufanguan changed hands, and the Taiyuan portal opened at this time.
Asunasmo and Yu Guni met successfully at Loufanguan. Yu Guni met with Asunasmo and hurriedly led his army back to Shenchi County.
He was really worried that Xu Jingzong and Zhang Huaiwei of Shenchi County could not be defended. Yu Guni was a smart person. He knew very well that although Chen Ying treated everyone equally and impartially on the surface, in fact, anyone with discerning eyes knew that Luo Shixin could only rank second in the person he valued the most, and Zhang Huaiwei was the first.
If Zhang Huaiwei was allowed to fight against the Death God Pool, even if he won a hundred towers and absent passes, he would not be able to make up for his mistakes.
Although Yu Guni's speed is very fast, Chen Ying is faster than him.
At the 18 passes at Yanmen Pass, Chen Ying only attacked the first Gouzhuzhai and Laoyingkou. The other passes such as Keshenchikou, Yangfangkou, Donglongkou, Xixingkou, Biloukou, Dashikou, Shikou, Malankou, Ruyuekou, Huyukou and other 18 passes all fell in sight.
As Liu Wuzhou abandoned the Yanmen Pass, none of the Tianxing Army generals who were left as abandoned by Liu Wuzhou as their abandoned sons were fools. They either apologized for guilt, submitted letters to their loyalty in advance, or made a formation to surrender. In short, Chen Ying took down the remaining sixteen passes at Yanmen Pass without taking any weapons.
Although the war went very smoothly, Chen Ying had no time to wait.
Because Chen Ying was worried that Li Xiuning would not be able to wait for him to arrive, Chen Ying left Zhao Chunyang to temporarily control the entire army, accept the prisoners, count and seize the materials. He led the cavalry of the Sixth Zhechong Mansion of Dingyuan Army and the cavalry of Lingwu Army to advance lightly.
Chen Ying ignored Taiyuan City because he knew that Taiyuan was actually ripe and had to wait for picking. Whether it was Liu Tong, Asunasmo, or Yu Guni or Xu Jingzong who won the Taiyuan merit, the first merit was still Chen Ying. This merit was that the meat in the pot could not escape.
Chen Ying actually didn't expect that the most tragic battle did not happen under Loufan Pass, nor at Yanmen Pass, nor in Taiyuan City, but in this unknown Shenchi County.
Fan Junzhang led the forces of the two battalions of the left army of Tianxing Army to pounce on Shenchi overnight. Thousands of troops surrounded Shenchi County with torches. Xu Jingzong looked at the densely packed troops outside the city and said to Zhang Huaiwei: "It seems that we will have a fierce battle tomorrow!"
